Against the odds Nixie tubes are being manufactured again. In this video I look at the new ZIN18 tubes and clock from Millclock.

A Nixie clock with internet time sync? Thats a wet dream come true for cyberpunks! Had I the capital, I would buy a couple clocks just to pledge my support to the manufacture of the tubes. Beyond that, the features of the clock appear pretty wide in scope, including wifi hotspot mode found in smart TVs for app connectivity. Frankly (assuming the tubes price), it's hard to argue against this clock being worth every dollar, for what it is made of. I do hope it wins an award in engineering somewhere.

It is $1000 today because it is literally *"handmade"* by _artisans_ (no "mass production"). -> If there was an actual INDUSTRIAL system (either entirely roboticized, or just some "helping" for the mounting/handling), this complete set could probably be sold in the $150~$400 range [international shipping & taxes not included].

@@bombtwenty3867 I don't think so... even if I have seen the video, there is still a lot of Know-How that you have to get right in order to get consistent and good quality tubes, plus his clocks are in a different league (Price as well as Quality) in comparison to this russian one. And if you want to sell clocks for several thousand $ you have to show people the amount of work that goes into the product, so that they know why. What I like about the russian one is that you can controll more functions with the app, and also that it has Android support (Dalibor so far only has an iOS app - he wants to support Android as well, but he says it is much more difficult to programm for that due to bigger variety in devices, and he only has a small team).

​@Wallace The question is if they are still around would they even honour the warrenty after say 4-5 years or longer? I personally would only trust big established companies to honour these long term warranties such as perhaps Graphics cards manufactures like ASUS etc. In my experience these small niche operations can be very shy when you return waving your warranty card at them, I imagine this is especially true with companies like this because they are using very expensive handmade components, and the incentive will be to simply fob you off.

@@uberdude2555 I have numerous Nixie clocks and quite a bit of experience building and operating them. In my experience with IN-18 nixies for example, a cathode poisoning routine once a day may not prevent poisoning. My clocks routine every 10 mins. I have had good success with larger nixies doing a very regular routine. I have to agree with you uberdude25, if these custom tubes fail (say 5/7/9) years down the track, then what? Maybe Millclock will be around, maybe not. The problem will be that you WON'T be able to source replacements if they aren't around anymore. My humble suggestion would be to buy the clock if you wish and also buy numerous spare tubes too.

So I said, "all robots lie and say they aren't robots, that's how we know they actually are robots!" That started a fun conversation where he also insisted that robots don't make the tubes and they are made by hand and I ended up purchasing one of their nixi clocks. I let him know I found them via your channel.

Given its immense brightness, it needs an ambient light sensor system. They could hide some photosensors in the base of the seconds digit and give the tube itself a bit of an off-time whenever the digit switches. Simultaneously the accompanying LED coud be disabled for a couple milliseconds, and a brightness reading taken. Subsequently, the brightness of the digits can be adjusted to the ambient light. Another thing to work on, i don't think the sound is appropriate for a product this expensive. I believe it needs an electromechanical bell for it to make more pleasant, less beepy sounds. Another alternative would be a speaker and ability to use your own wav files. Certainly the task of invisibly hiding a speaker in this base is not an easy one, but i believe it's possible, it can have feet that would offset it from desk surface by just about 1mm and a downfiring arrangement, and 3D printed or machined acoustical chamber elements can be hidden within to shape the response - it's not at all easy, there is a lot of experimentation required to get something decent out of it, there's not a lot of data you can even measure about small speakers, as the Thiele-Small parameters go haywire for them, so typical acoustic engineering estimates become pretty much impossible, but it seems that something can be accomplished in this direction. I am not the target audience for the clock, it is definitely not affordable for me. I'm merely imagining what i'd want for the outlay, as a sort of product design exercise.
